Default Something I noticed

Well re-noticed would be the word. After I washed my car I notice, again, that the passenger side front tire appears to have alot of camber in it when compared to the drivers side. I tried to take some pics of it but when I compare the pics they look the same.

Not sure if it just happens to be the angle I was standing or what.


I checked the tire for abnormal wear and there is none. I checked the driverside too. I know it has been like this for awhile because I noticed it before just forgot to check on it because I was in a rush. The car tracks right, turns fine and there is no wierd noises or bump steer.

Does anyone else car appear to be like this. i wish the pictures could show what I am seeing.

Is your car lowered at all? I always get paranoid looing at the camber of my tires also.

I could post some pics and show it to ya.

I'd take your car out to a really flat parking lot if you could. Eye-ball it and see if you are just paranoid, if not take it to any place that does alignments and they should be able to rectify your camber issue in minutes.

Last week I took my 2000 GT to the shop for an alignment and the camber was off .6 degrees which is quite alot. They called me at work to tell me that they would have to drill out some rivets and such to straighten the camber out. I aked why and he told me it was just another screwy thing that Ford does. So maybe you're not imagining things. You could at least have your camber checked. Mine seems to track alot better, even though I didn't notice it before.

Not lowered and not sure if it ever will be. I may not be able to pull up my driveway if it gets lowered. But they look so much better lowered.

I just don't know what is going on. There is no abnormal tire wear and I haven't hit anything with the car. it tracks fine and everything. But when i try to take pics it looks fine. I am thinking that when the body shop fixed the fender to door alignment the may have tiped the top of the quarter out and it gives it the look of a lot of camber.

I got down on the ground and looked and the tires have the same contact patch area. I am going to try and bring it to a shop near work to see if there is anything wrong.

Like I said I noticed it before and forgot about it. .....


Man I am to **** when it comes to my car!
